Allen’s Cal career could be over

Keenan Allen’s Cal football career could be over. He sustained an injury to his left knee, the posterior cruciate ligament, toward the end of the Utah game and will not play Friday against Washington.

Coach Jeff Tedford said Thursday morning that the recovery time is 2-3 weeks, meaning Allen almost certainly will miss the Oregon game on Nov. 10. PCL injuries seldom require surgery and no procedure is planned for Allen, Cal’s career leader in receptions with 205.

Since Allen intends to declare for the NFL Draft after this, his junior season, his Cal career could be over after 33 games spanning 2 3/4 seasons.

Allen hurt his left knee falling on Cal’s failed onside kick attempt with 1:18 left in the Utah game. He was not hit on the play, Tedford said.

With Allen out of the Washington game, the Bears will go with mostly freshmen at the wide receiver positions — Chris Harper, Bryce Treggs and Darius Powe.
